Porte Photos’ Daily Quote: October 23rd

Violence is the language of the unheard.

~ Martin Luther King III
American – Activist Born: October 23, 1957

Porte Ponderings:

Recent events in the Middle-East highlight the truth of the quote: Violence is the language of the unheard.

But violence only begets violence. Innocent people are caught in the middle as collateral damage. Hospitals have been bombed, the most vulnerable have been killed. Still hostages are being held and negotiations are ongoing. Each side blaming the other. And the bombing continues.

My thoughts and prayers are with both sides.

Please cease fire.

in the world.

Porte Ponderings:

When National Holidays fall on a Saturday, some celebrate on the Friday, some on the Monday.

Most Canadian Federal Employees have today off to remember “Truth and Reconciliation” or Orange Shirt Day.

Most other Canadians put their Orange Shirts away until next year.
Some Canadians live with the effects of Residential Schools every day.
Others are grieving Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women every day.
